This unit
The Alta Data Technologies ENET2-1553-2D is a dual-channel MIL-STD-1553 interface module that bridges 1553 communications to Ethernet networks via IP/UDP. Built on the AltaCore FPGA protocol engine, this compact appliance enables real-time remoting of 1553 operations across local area networks. It supports full Bus Controller, Remote Terminal, and Bus Monitor functionality with integrated signal capture on the first channel for cable diagnostics and cybersecurity analysis.
The device operates across 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and delivers UDP request/response latency typically under 10 µs from device to 1553 buffers, with IP/UDP bridging response times as fast as 20 µs. Power input ranges from 5–30 V DC with typical consumption of 300–700 mA, or optionally via IEEE 802.3af PoE (Type 1) up to +55°C ambient. The module is housed in a rugged 13.5 × 3.7 × 4 cm enclosure weighing 200 g and includes 64-bit time tags with 20 ns resolution, IRIG-B RX decode, PPS, hardware triggers, and full error injection/detection.
Dual redundant (A/B) MIL-STD-1553 connections use Glenair Mighty Mouse connectors. AltaAPI supports Windows, .NET, LabVIEW, ANSI C, and Linux development without code recompilation, delivering high portability. Suitable for aerospace, defense, and industrial systems handling 100–2000 packets per second.
EU and China RoHS compliant.

Alta Data Technologies ENET2-1553-2D — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Alta Data Technologies ENET2-1553-2D. Calibration covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Alta Data Technologies ENET2-1553-2D faults: power supply failure (cRIO-9073/9074), C-series slot connector wear, PXI chassis fan failure, GPIB interface failure on VXI controllers, BIOS/EEPROM corruption. NI CompactRIO most common faults are power supply failure on older cRIO-9073/9074 chassis and C-series module slot connector wear from repeated hot-swap cycles. PXI chassis fan failure is the most common wear item — chassis fans are field-replaceable. VXI embedded controllers most commonly develop EEPROM corruption and GPIB interface failure.
Alta Data Technologies ENET2-1553-2D price
This Alta Data Technologies ENET2-1553-2D is listed at $3,100. Calibration is available separately from $450. Contact us for volume pricing or if you need multiple units.
Alta Data Technologies ENET2-1553-2D calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Alta Data Technologies ENET2-1553-2D is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers analog input channel accuracy and offset at all gain settings, analog output accuracy, digital I/O logic threshold verification, sample rate and timing accuracy, and trigger and synchronization bus functional verification. NI CompactRIO and PXI chassis also undergo backplane trigger line integrity check.. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
